Allure of a Country Maiden

After Shangguan Ruixi left, Fu Ranhui's maid looked at Fu Ranhui like this and said heartbrokenly: "Princess, let's go back to the house!"

Fu Ranhui looked at Shangguan Ruixi's leaving figure with empty eyes, nodded after a while, then lowered the curtain of the carriage and left.

"Girl, what should I do with my young cousin?" The porter's voice was trembling.

Du Yijin looked at Gu Honggen not far away and felt a little dizzy. She didn't know what to do!

"Go and tell Madam that he was kicked and injured by the Crown Prince, and ask Madam to send someone to take him back to the mansion!"

"Yes!" The concierge hurriedly ran in.

"Wait a minute, didn't you say that people from the Gu family are not allowed to come to the door? Why did Gu Honggen let him in?" Du Yijin thought of something and asked again.

Now that Gu Honggen was kicked and injured by King Shangguan Rui in front of his door, the Gu family might come to the door again. Thinking of this, Du Yijin felt a headache.

"It was the madam who pulled him in with him." He couldn't deny the madam entry!

Du Yijin's face turned cold after hearing this. It seems that Mrs. Gu wants to go back to her old ways again!

Just as Du Yijin was about to enter, Song Gui's voice came from behind: "Miss Du, please wait a moment."

Du Yijin turned around and saw Song Gui running up to him with a food basket in his hand and sweating profusely.

He gasped and said: "Miss Du, this is your medicine. Please be sure to drink it. My heir apparent said that if you don't drink it, I won't go back! Miss Du, please don't embarrass me." , I have seniors above me and young below, all waiting for me to earn some money from this job to go back and serve dinner!"

After saying this, Song Gui held up the food basket and knelt in front of Du Yijin.

Du Yijin quickly avoided it. She was neither an official nor had a title, so how could she be worshiped by others?

"Get up quickly!"

"If Miss Du doesn't drink this bowl of medicine, I won't be able to stand on my knees!"

Du Yijin was furious: "Then just kneel down!"

Four taels of medicine a day was a huge favor, and she couldn't afford it!

After Du Yijin said this, she walked into the house.

Song Gui: "..."

Kneel down, it's better than not being able to go back to Prince An's Mansion.

Not long after Du Yijin returned to her room and sat down, Mrs. Gu came to the door.

"Du Yijin, what have you done to your cousin? Now he can only breathe out but not in! If there is something wrong with him, how do you want me to face your grandmother and your uncle?!" Mrs. Gu saw Gu Honggen's look like that , I was so heartbroken that I burst into tears, and now my makeup is all gone.

Du Yijin raised her head and glanced at Gu who was crying very sadly: "How can I do anything to him? I have that ability, can he still enter the Du family today? It was Prince An who kicked him, If you, the Gu family, want to find someone to compensate you, remember to go to Prince An’s Mansion to find the Crown Prince! Don’t even think about relying on me!”

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu paused while wiping her tears, and then said angrily: "Didn't Prince An kick Hong Gen because he was protecting you? If you don't come out with some money to treat Hong Gen, he can Do you want to survive? Why are you so cruel?"

What is the identity of Prince An? If she dared to go to him for money, she would have gone by now! Can you wait until now?

Du Yijin is now the head of the family. Mrs. Gu only has a few hundred cash for rouge and gouache every month. Even half of the few hundred cash is used to buy rice for her parents' family. She really has no money at all. As the matron of a family, who could live such a useless life like her! Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu cried even more sadly.

"I didn't ask him to kick anyone, it's none of my business, so I won't pay even half a cent for this money! Dad said that the Gu family will not be allowed to visit the Du family in the future, stepmother, you won't be Forget it! If Gu Honggen couldn't enter my door today, he wouldn't have been kicked out! So it's all your fault that Gu Honggen is like this."

How could Mrs. Gu forget? She just saw that her family's life was better than before, but her mother's family could not afford three meals a day. She felt heartbroken. Seeing her mother still having to help people wash clothes to make money even in her old age, she felt sad. How can I bear it.

Now that Honggen was kicked by the Crown Prince and Du Yijin didn't come up with money to treat her, where would she find money to treat him?

"Du Yijin, that is your maternal grandfather's house after all, and Honggen is also your cousin! How could you ignore death and not save him!"

"My maternal grandfather's family name is not Gu. I will not save an enemy who ruined my reputation. Sorry, stepmother, I'm tired and want to sleep!" Du Yijin began to take off the hairpin on her head.

"No, you give me ten taels of silver first, or you won't be allowed to take a bath." Mrs. Gu became anxious when she saw that Du Yijin was determined not to give him any money.

"I don't have any money!" Du Yijin refused directly.

At this time Du Zhongkai came back: "There is a man kneeling outside Yijin's door and saying he is looking for you. Dad brought him in."

Du Yijin frowned after hearing this: "Aren't you leaving yet? Why did dad let him in!"

Du Zhongkai was speechless. The man said that he was from Prince An's Mansion. Did he dare to let people kneel outside like this?

"Forget it! I'll go take a look." After saying this, Du Yijin walked out.

When Mrs. Gu saw her husband came back, she cried and said to Du Zhongkai: "Master, you must save Hong Gen..."

Then she talked a lot.

"I don't have any money, so I gave it all to Yijin! Besides, Gu Honggen is not my son, why should I use money to save him?" Du Zhongkai walked out after saying this.

It would be better not to save a scourge like Gu Honggen, but if he were saved, he would continue to do harm to others. Didn’t I hear that another girl’s reputation was ruined by her?

Mrs. Gu: "..."

This life is unbearable. Whose son-in-law doesn’t care about his mother-in-law’s family? Is the son-in-law so good?

I thought that after being married for so many years, she tried her best to take care of the two children left by her original wife and raised them. However, she failed to get their filial piety, and instead even had her housekeeping rights taken away! It’s like raising two white-eyed wolves. If I had known, I should have killed them as soon as possible!

Mrs. Gu gritted her teeth with hatred, and then went back helplessly to rummage through the cabinets to see if there was anything else she could pawn.

Du Yijin came to Song Gui's face. Song Gui was still kneeling. Du Yijin sighed: "Get up and give me the medicine! Go back and tell your master that I will buy this medicine myself in the future!"

"No need to bother, my master has already bought half a year's worth of medicine at a time. Miss Du can just drink it." Song Gui carefully opened the food basket and took out the medicine, holding it in front of Du Yijin with both hands.

It's crazy! Too much money and nowhere to spend it? Du Yijin thought to herself, then took the medicine: "You can go back!"

Song Gui looked at Du Yijin with a smile: "Master asked me to watch Miss Du drink the medicine before going back."

Du Yijin: "..."

Helpless, Du Yijin drank the lukewarm bitter medicine in one gulp.

Song Gui handed Du Yijin a pack of candied fruits: "Master said that good medicine is bitter, and girls are afraid of bitterness. You can eat candied fruits after eating it."

"Your master has really good intentions!" Du Yijin gritted his teeth.

"Haha... Miss Du, see you tomorrow!"

Du Yijin: "..."
